So these media sorts have no problem shilling for a Republican party whose goal is to extend nationally the kind of right-wing theocratic control we see the GOP already exerting in solidly red heartland states like Alabama and Arkansas. As long as the media shills and their top managers and owners get their tax breaks — and none of these folks have to live in Alabama or Arkansas — they're perfectly content to shill for the Republicans.

My footnote on what Robert P. Jones says here:

More than a few media gurus who live in elite cultural bubbles — I'm talking about the outlets that set the standards like New York Times and Washington Post — don't mind at all relegating a large number of Americans to theocratic control in solidly red heartland states.

Though those same media mavens would be horrified at the thought of living in those places themselves.

"Why are we in 2023, 2024 continuing to argue about our history lessons, continuing to argue about the Civil War, slavery, these things I many people thought were long-settled questions. I think it's because these questions, the roots of those questions, that is, what kind of a country are we and who is this country for, those questions have never really honestly and fully been answered."

Robert P. Jones on why he wrote his forthcoming book The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy:

"One of things that makes this work more urgent for me is that questions of race and religion are absolutely at the heart of what's tearing this country apart."
